BATH, Jan. 7.-Daniel McQuarrie, who is
employed on the Bath water works, was in.

The crew in which he worked were near the
turnpike road, on the south side of Rocky
Hill, near the Daniel Webster farm. The
men were engaged in blasting a large ledge
about $50 yards from which was the small
shed used as blacksmith shop. A heavy
blast had been prepared, and about 1l.45 the
workmen were warned to quit work and
place themselves at a safe distance. The
crew, with the exception of McQuarrie, went
down the turnpike road about 800 yards, to
what they considered safe distance.
McQuarrie entered the blacksmith shop,
and helper. When the explosion took
place he was standing at the forge warming
his dinner in pail. The blast was unusual
ly heavy. Some of the fragments were
thrown over 800 yards, striking the ground
as far away as the workmen down the turn.
pike. A piece of stone about the size of a
foot ball, weighing about 80 pounds, struck
upon the frail roof of the shed, and came
crashing through, striking McQuarrie on the
forehead. The unfortunate man fell to
the floor dead, the rock having crushed his
skull as if struck by sledge hammer. On
seeing him fall the two men in the shop
rushed to his assistance and raised him from
the floor, but he was beyond human aid

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
RICHARD III.


The audience gathered at Portland Thea
tire last night, was a small one to witness
Mr.. George G. Minis representation of Rich
ard Ill, and they were fairly generous of ap-
plause. Mr.. Min displayed the same defects
in Richard that he did the evening previous
in Bertuccio, a tendency to exaEgeration in
his delineati0ns OF rage, and disposition to
make scenes Of minor import as prominent
as more important ones. But with constant
study he will doubtless see these faults-per-
haps he does already-and win remedy them.
tonlng them down, or overcoming them al
together. Mr.. Min has an excellent con-
ception OF Richard, and his reading is cor
rect. He gives the satirical scenes, as for
instance that with Anne, with much force,
and there are many touches OF power exhib-
tied by him throughout the play.
The orchestra selections were delightful
feature of the evening, and the new number,
SAM bOucl, was warmly applauded.
SOL. SMITH Russell.
The popular comedian, Sol. Smith Russell,
will appear at City Hall, in this city, on
Thursday of next week. Mr.. Russell will
produce fer the first time here. his latest
success, "Pa," new comedy drama in three
acts, by Cal Wallace of Philadelphia. OF
Sol. Smith Russell it Is unnecessary to say
that he is genuine embodiment OF pure,
unadulterated fun. A speaking counte-
nance, combined with inimitable powers Of
mimlcry and intelligent conception Of the
requisites of his created role, leaves nothing
further to be said in commendation. His
company is the strongest that has yet accom-
panied him on his starring tours and in
cludes several well known and favorite
comedians, as well as Miss Matte Ferguson
and Mr.. Frank Lawton. We advise all to
secure seats at once as the demand will be
large. The seats win be sold at Stock
bridges this morning.

Business In Maine.

Mr.. M. N. Rich, secretary of the Portland
Board of Trade. in his annual statement
says that the years business of this city and
State has been fairly good. The following is
taken from the report:
The purchasing power of farm produce
has never been larger, or profits more remu-
nerative than during the past year; hence
money has been easy in the country, and the
surplus crops held by farmers the past two
or three years, has not increased.
The lumber business has been good and
prices well sustained. There has been a
steady improvement among the farmers, both
in land and buildings.
The hitherto large lumber and shook trade
with the West Indies, has dwindled from
100000 sugar box shocks to about 10000 or
10000, with its corresponding carrying trades.
The -four and grain business lhas been
quite active, and there has been considerable
moved, but at very low prices and at small
margins; and there has been almost an en-
tire absence Of purely speculative transac-
tions, and stocks have been generally kept
